The distribution of organisms across an ecosystem is typically uneven, as they thrive in areas with favorable biotic and abiotic factors. Line or belt transects are used to measure distribution, and systematic sampling reveals the impact of abiotic factors on species distribution.
La distribución de los organismos en un ecosistema suele ser desigual, ya que prosperan en áreas con factores bióticos y abióticos favorables. Las transectas de línea o cinturón se utilizan para medir la distribución, y el muestreo sistemático revela el impacto de los factores abióticos en la distribución de las especies.
